Hello, dear friends! Thank you for joining me for this new personal development video. So today, it will be a little more spontaneous than usual, a little less scripted. I have a certain number of notes, as usual, but I will be a little more spontaneous. And we are going to talk about a subject that touches me a lot, which is linked to personal development and which is gratitude. We will see in a little more detail what it is about.

But before that, if you are interested in personal development, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, that is to say, one action and get two results, you do one action, you get two results, well you can discover the first link in the description and download the PDF version of my book 4 Pills for a Rich and Stress-Free Life for free .

Why are you going to kill two birds with one stone? Why are you going to do one action and you will have two results? Well because you will read a book in French and your two results will be to improve your French language, your French understanding, and also to improve your life.

Today's topic, I've already covered it in my podcast. Every Wednesday, I have a podcast called Walk with Johan in which I talk about personal development topics. We'll also put a link in the mexico whatsapp number data description, in the "i" for info as well, so you can discover it. And on August 2, I did an episode on feeling gratitude and I enjoyed recording this episode so much that I wanted to share with you the different ideas from this podcast on the YouTube channel.

The basic topic was gratitude. And gratitude is simply the fact of rejoicing in what we have, of being happy with what we have. Gratitude is something that we find in the main religions. We talk about it in Christianity. In Islam too, we talk about it a lot, the fact of feeling gratitude, of being happy with what we have. And we also talk about it in the majority of great philosophies, whether they are ancient philosophies or more recent philosophies. So we have always or the great thinkers have always advocated, have always advised feeling gratitude.

And of course, this is something that was already clear to me, but it hit me again when I read or rather reread my favorite book, it's a book by Dale Carnegie called, the English version, it's How to Stop Worrying & Start Living? There's also a French version obviously called How to Free Yourself from Stress and Worries?

So this book, I've talked about it a lot. It's, again, my favorite book of all time and I've read a lot of them. I've read it in English, I've read it in German, I've read it in Italian, I've also used it not only for its ideas but also for language learning. I was talking to you earlier about killing two birds with one stone, well I do it too.

In the chapter, I think it's chapter 15. In fact, I have a lot of... I don't know if you'll see it on the screen, but I have a lot of notes. Almost all the pages are marked in blue in this book, because there's a lot of wisdom. But in chapter 15, he talks to us about gratitude. He quotes from the famous philosopher Schopenhauer, a rather pessimistic German philosopher who said that we rarely think about what we have, but often about what we don't have. So we rarely think about what we have, but often about what we don't have.
